Reviews

Over the years, I used this product many times, and it always performed well for me. I believe it has been discontinued, as lately the few times I have purchased it all from various sources, shows it's qualities to have changed. The strips stick together like glue, and it also sticks like blue to your hands. It is very difficult to remove from the hands! It gets long ad gooey when you try to remove each strip from the box, and is not workable as in the past. My suspicion is that these are all very old boxes of this putty, which has "outdated".

I to have used this a lot. It works very well to fill small holes around heating and A/C on auto and trucks.

We use this product to fill seams and holes left from factory assembly to prevent water intrusion into medium and heavy-duty truck cabs. I used this on restoring classic cars and installing audio systems in cars from the 60's and 70's. This product has been a part of my tool box inventory for over 38 years. You will always find a use for it.
